The Lotto Soudal team has a busy racing schedule these days. At the moment they are not only riding in the Spring Classics, but also in the Tour of Catalonia. Bart De Clercq is defending the leader’s jersey after a good performance in yesterday’s queen stage.

Jens Debusschere showed his sprinting quality in the first flat stage in Tirreno-Adriatico. He could benefit from a crash that happened right behind him. Nevertheless a well deserved victory for the Belgian champion.

The Lotto Soudal team had another reason to celebrate after the second stage of Paris-Nice. German rider André Greipel could benefit from the team effort in an exciting bunch sprint. He could throw his Ridley Noah SL across the finish only a few centimeters in front of French sprinter Arnaud Démare.
